Calcium phosphate compounds form the inorganic phases of our mineralised tissues such as bone and teeth, playing an important role in hard tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In dentistry and oral care products, hydroxyapatite (HA) is a stable

There is a need to reconstruct damaged hard tissue for several reasons that include traumatic or non-traumatic events, congenital abnormalities, or disease. Damaged tissues stemming from these events can become a major issue in orthopedic, dental, and

This chapter introduces hydroxyapatite (HA) as a key bioactive material primarily used in regeneration of bone. HA is a synthetic ceramic material similar to biological apatite (osseous mineral), which is the mineral component of bone. Biological apatite

The synthesis of hydroxyapatite (HAP) and its applications in heterogeneous catalysis are abridged in view of its demonstrated prowess and utility in chemical, material and industrial industry. This overview documents the strengths and weaknesses of

Hydroxyapatite (HAp), a well-known biomaterial, has witnessed a remarkable evolution over the years, transforming from a simple biocompatible substance to an advanced functional material with a wide range of applications. This abstract provides an overview
